Never comfortable in the traditional studio setting, female photographer Toni Frissell was known for bringing fashion photography outside in an almost cinematic style. Captured in 1937 while Frissell was a staff photographer for Vogue magazine, Frida Kahlo standing next to an agave plant is an outtake from a shoot accompanying “Señoras of Mexico”, an editorial feature and interview by Alice-Leone Moats. Frissell’s tendency to use a low point of view and dramatic angles shines through, making Kahlo appear larger-than-life, almost monumental in stature. Frissell and Kahlo proved to be an unmatchable pair. Frissell’s distinct, unconventional style of photography complimented Kahlo’s identity as a proud mestiza artist known for juxtaposing traditional Mexican and modern Western fashion. The resulting photographs would become some of the most famous and recognisable images of the painter.
